VA9104-xGA-2S Series Electric Non-Spring Return Valve
Actuators
Part No. 14-1336-15, Rev. J
Installation Instructions
Issued March 2016
Refer to the QuickLIT website for the most up-to-date version of this document.
Applications
Installation
The VA9104 Series Actuators are direct-mount,
non-spring return electric valve actuators that operate
on AC 24 V power. These synchronous, motor-driven
actuators are used to provide accurate positioning on
Johnson Controls® VG1000 Series DN15, DN20, and
DN25 (1/2, 3/4, and 1 in.) ball valves in HVAC
applications.
Install the ball valve with the actuator at or above the
centerline of the horizontal piping (Figure 1).
The VA9104 Series Electric Non-Spring Return
Actuators provide a running torque of 35 lbin (4 Nm).
The nominal travel time is 60 seconds at 60 Hz
(72 seconds at 50 Hz) for 90° of rotation
IMPORTANT: Do not install or use this VA9104
Series Electric Non-Spring Return Valve Actuator in
or near environments where corrosive substances
or vapors could be present. Exposure of the electric
actuator to corrosive environments may damage the
internal components of the device, and will void the
warranty.
IMPORTANT : Utiliser ce VA9104 Series Actuator
uniquement pour commander des équipements
dans des conditions normales de fonctionnement.
Lorsqu'une défaillance ou un dysfonctionnement du
VA9104 Series Actuator risque de provoquer des
blessures ou d'endommager l'équipement contrôlé
ou un autre équipement, la conception du système
de contrôle doit intégrer des dispositifs de protection
supplémentaires. Veiller dans ce cas à intégrer de
façon permanente d'autres dispositifs, tels que des
systèmes de supervision ou d'alarme, ou des
dispositifs de sécurité ou de limitation, ayant une
fonction d'avertissement ou de protection en cas de
défaillance ou de dysfonctionnement du VA9104
Series Actuator.
FIG:mntpos_H2O_app
IMPORTANT: Use this VA9104 Series Actuator
only to control equipment under normal operating
conditions. Where failure or malfunction of the
VA9104 Series Actuator could lead to personal
injury or property damage to the controlled
equipment or other property, additional precautions
must be designed into the control system.
Incorporate and maintain other devices, such as
supervisory or alarm systems or safety or limit
controls, intended to warn of or protect against
failure or malfunction of the VA9104 Series Actuator.

Mounting the Actuator
To mount the actuator:

3 Way
FIG:VG1000
5. Install the valve actuator over the ball valve
mounting flange (Figure 6). Depending on the
installation, position the assembly in any one of
four 90° increments on the valve.
Note: For proper operation, the actuator must drive
the valve counterclockwise to open Port A when
viewed from above the valve.
6.
To secure the actuator to the valve, use a 1/4 in.
(6 mm) flat blade screwdriver. Recommended
torque is 8 to 12 lbin (0.9 to 1.4 Nm).
Figure 4: Positioning the Valve Stem
2. Mount optional M9000-561 Thermal Barrier to the
valve if fluid temperature exceeds 212°F (100°C).
See the Mounting the Thermal Barrier section for
more information.
3. Place the handle the top of the drive shaft
(Figure 5). The handle is keyed on and can only be
mounted in one orientation.
IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten the manual
handle mounting screw. Overtightening may strip
the threads resulting in damage to the valve stem
threads.
4. Check that the actuator coupler and handle are in
the fully counterclockwise position as viewed from
the top of the actuator. If not, press the actuator
gear release and rotate the handle until the
actuator coupler is fully counterclockwise.

Mounting the Thermal Barrier
2. Rotate the drive shaft to align marks on the top of
the thermal drive shaft with matching marks on the
valve stem.
Figure 7 shows the optional M9000-561 Thermal
Barrier.
3. Mount the thermal barrier onto the valve using the
four included M5x16 mm machine screws and four
M5 flange nuts. Tighten the screws to a
recommended torque of 21 to 25 lb·in.
(2.4 to 2.8 N·m) (Figure 9).

Risque de décharge électrique.
Débrancher l'alimentation avant de réaliser tout
raccordement électrique afin d'éviter tout risque de
décharge électrique.
Note: When using the VA9104-AGA-1S or
VA9104-IGA-1S Series actuator with a controller
featuring triac output, add a 4.7k ohm resistor one half
watt between the Common (COM) and
Counterclockwise (CCW) terminals.
Risk of Property Damage.
Do not apply power to the system before checking all
wiring connections. Short circuited or improperly
connected wires may result in permanent damage to
the equipment.
Note: For all VA9104-AGA Series actuators, use a
controller and/or software that provides a timeout
function at the end of rotation (stall) to avoid excessive
wear or drive time on the actuator motor. The -GGA
and -IGA models have an auto shutoff feature to
prevent excessive wear or drive time on the motor.
VA9104-GGA-2S
The VA9104-GGA Series Electric Non-Spring Return
valve actuators require AC 24 V power and a
DC 0(2) to 10 V or 0(4) to 20 mA controller input signal.
These electric actuators include an integrated 120 in.
(3.05 m) long cable; see Figure 11 for proper wiring.
Risque de dégâts matériels.
Ne pas mettre le système sous tension avant d'avoir
vérifié tous les raccords de câblage. Des fils formant
un court-circuit ou connectés de façon incorrecte
risquent d'endommager irrémédiablement
l'équipement.
IMPORTANT: Make all wiring connections in
accordance with local, national, and regional
regulations. Do not exceed the electrical ratings of
the VA9104 Series Electric Non-Spring Return
Valve Actuator.
VA9104-AGA-2S and VA9104-IGA-2S
The VA9104-AGA and VA9104-IGA Series Electric
Non-Spring Return valve actuators require an AC 24 V
input signal and work with a variety of controllers.
These electric actuators include an integrated 120 in.

Diagram (Overrides)
VA9104-GGA actuators are factory set for Direct
Acting (DA) mode and for a DC 0 to 10 V input control
signal. In DA mode, a minimum control signal drives
the actuator to the full CCW position, and a maximum
control signal drives the actuator to the full Clockwise
(CW) position.
VA9104-xGA-2S Series Electric Non-Spring Return Valve Actuators Installation Instructions

Setup and Adjustments
For Reverse Acting (RA) operation, a minimum control
signal drives the actuator to the full CW position and a
maximum signal drives the actuator to the full CCW
position. To change the factory settings, remove the
actuator cover and adjust the switches on the circuit
board as shown in Figure 14.
Commissioning
After wiring is complete, apply power to the Variable Air
Volume (VAV) or Variable Air Volume and Temperature
(VVT) controller and provide input signals to the
actuator to drive it at least one complete cycle open
and closed.
Troubleshooting
If the VA9104 Series Electric Non-Spring Return Valve
Actuator is not responding or working properly:
Figure 14: VA9104-GGA Factory Switch Setting
•
verify that the actuator assembly is properly
secured to the valve.
•
check that all electrical connections are complete
and that power is applied.
•
verify that the valve fully opens and closes, using
the gear release button on the actuator and the
manual override handle, shown in Figure 5.
Repairs
If the VA9104 Series Electric Non-Spring Return
Actuator fails to operate within its specifications,
replace the unit. For a replacement electric actuator,
contact the nearest Johnson Controls representative.
